Essential Documents
Essential documents, prepared by your school, the school division, boards of education, and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education, guide the decision-making and activities of school libraries. The documents provide assistance and vitiate potential problems when the community requests action, when students need help, and when teachers ask for advice. It is imperative that teacher-librarians are not only familiar with provincial and divisional school library policies and procedures, but promote the content of these documents.
